Summary: Gentoo Portage does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers
Details: The urlopen function in pym/portage/util/_urlopen.py in Gentoo Portage 2.1.12, when using HTTPS, does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and modify binary package lists via a crafted certificate.
